COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NATURALIY OCCURING AND SYNTHETIC NOOTROPIC AGENTS
Nootropics, also known as “smart drugs” in English language journals are a heterogeneous group of compounds . The term “nootropic” was first used by Cornelius E. Giurgea in 1972/1973 to describe substances that primarily activate cognitive functions, such as memory and learning, especially in situations where these functions are impaired . In a sense, they interfere with the metabolism of neuronal cells of the central nervous system (CNS) . The name consists of two Greek words: nöos, which means thinking, and tropein, which means to guide . There is no uniform approach to categorizing these compounds. Some authors distinguish between classical nootropics and substances that enhance brain metabolism, while others combine these two groups, or use the term cognitive effect rather than nootropic .
